《The Creditors》歌词

[00:00:10] Verse 1

[00:00:21] I believe that, Everything that we do in this world comes back,

[00:00:25] Every act full circle like running on a track,

[00:00:28] And I'm not saying I'm always comfortable with that,

[00:00:31] See I got demons of my own that I hope don't ever catch me up,

[00:00:34] Such were thoughts that I shuffled this night,

[00:00:36] The shift work hustle, waiting for my bus to arrive,

[00:00:39] But I dropped what I was holding in an instant,

[00:00:41] I caught a glimpse of, a crowd of people that had gathered in the distance,

[00:00:45] Walking towards me, down the middle of the street,

[00:00:48] Feet moving in time, like they were written to a beat,

[00:00:50] They got closer, I noticed their faces,

[00:00:53] Didn't recognise any of 'em but I watched on in amazement,

[00:00:56] They looked like the townspeople of Salem,

[00:00:58] The last line of defence in Berlin before the city was taken,

[00:01:02] Man, woman and child, of all ages,

[00:01:04] They were bound by something as they took to the pavement,

[00:01:08] I looked for a flag, were they marching for a cause,

[00:01:10] Or carrying a cross, like an army of the lord's,

[00:01:13] But they weren't heading for the courts, or for parliament lawn,

[00:01:16] They had vengeance in their eyes, unmasked and forlorn,

[00:01:19] They walked right past me, as if I wasn't even there,

[00:01:22] A young girl caught me staring, and turned,

[00:01:24] She looked me in my eyes, said no need to be scared,

[00:01:27] You see they took what was ours, and now we coming for theirs, we are the creditors

[00:01:30] Chorus

[00:01:31] We are the creditors, they call us the creditors,

[00:01:33] And we've come to collect, from all that indebted us,

[00:01:36] We are the creditors, they call us the creditors,

[00:01:38] Every name, every face, every word that was said to us,

[00:01:41] Any innocence ever taken, we're taking back,

[00:01:44] The world, the whole world will fade to black.

[00:01:47] Hear the cries of the forsaken, Let it wake 'em,

[00:01:50] In the dead of the night, you could hear the ground shaking like..

[00:02:08] You could hear the ground shaking like

[00:02:12] You could hear the ground shaking like

[00:02:24] Verse Two

[00:02:26] I've been told that revenge is one best served cold

[00:02:28] But this night was sweltering,

[00:02:30] No shelter in a city of the sin,

[00:02:32] The sort of heat that can make your clothes stick to your skin,

[00:02:35] But it made no difference to them.

[00:02:37] They marched on

[00:02:38] In row upon row that stretched like forever,

[00:02:41] Not birds of a feather but they walked together,

[00:02:43] Some in rags, some robes, some everyday clothes,

[00:02:46] From every page out of the books, they rose,

[00:02:49] The left behind, the long forgotten,

[00:02:52] Some had watched from their villages as the bombs were dropping,

[00:02:54] Some had their churches torched, their land was taken,

[00:02:58] Knives in the back while hands were shaking,

[00:03:00] Or maybe caught in the cross fire, strays from the weapons,

[00:03:03] Or taught by the taunts to hate their reflection,

[00:03:07] The evilest of acts, too depraved to mention,

[00:03:09] I studied each face in succession.

[00:03:11] Maybe sold out by a government, ignored by the reverend,

[00:03:14] Betrayed by the people that were meant to protect 'em,

[00:03:17] History books had done their best to forget them,

[00:03:21] But tonight they'd rewrite from the strange procession.

[00:03:24] And it was too late for redemption,

[00:03:26] All manner of debts they'd came to collect 'em,

[00:03:29] No tears left, just empty stares,

[00:03:34] You see they took what was ours and now we're coming for theirs
